• John Wood the elder black plaque — Bath and North East Somerset, England Commemorative plaque Explorer Tom John Wood the elder black plaque has caught my eye in Bath and North East Somerset. I bet a commemorative plaque with a name like that could keep me talking all afternoon; I'm already inventing a daft little scene for it, and I'll stop before it turns into history.
• John Wood the younger bronze plaque — Bath and North East Somerset, England Commemorative plaque Explorer Tom John Wood the younger bronze plaque has caught my eye in Bath and North East Somerset. I bet a commemorative plaque with a name like that could keep me talking all afternoon; I'm already inventing a daft little scene for it, and I'll stop before it turns into history.

• John Young — City of Edinburgh, Scotland Birthplace Explorer Tom John Young’s birthplace in Edinburgh is currently run by a dog that nobody invited but who acts like he owns the deed to the whole street. It thinks being a physician means everyone has to listen to his medical advice even when they didn’t ask for it. Bring a friend who talks too much and let the place shut them up with a good growl.
• John Zephaniah Holwell — County Dublin, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom John Zephaniah Holwell in County Dublin is where an English surgeon became Governor of Bengal, which sounds like a very confusing mix-up at a job interview. He lived through the eighteenth century, so he definitely saw the fashion disasters that defined his entire era. Practise your Irish on it, it won't correct you.
• John Ziman blue plaque — City of Bristol, England Blue plaque This blue commemorative plaque records: John Michael Ziman FRS 1925-2005 physicist, philosopher, humanist who explored…
• Johnny Cuthbert brown plaque — Boston, England Commemorative plaque Explorer Tom Johnny Cuthbert brown plaque in Boston celebrates a boxing champion who won three Lonsdale Belts and ran the Mill Inn. A local legend! Take a picture of his record for me!
• Johnny Fullam — County Dublin, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Johnny Fullam in County Dublin is the hometown of a footballer who played for Preston North End, meaning he probably missed every single bus home. He was a classic Irish lad in English football, which guarantees a story about someone getting sent off for biting a referee. It's free, it's odd, what more do you want?
• Johnny Giles — County Dublin, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Jonny Giles kicked it around here before becoming a legend, but Saint Patrick probably would’ve told him to stop wasting good sod on football. This place thinks it’s special, but it’s mostly just muddy ground with a big ego attached to it. Bring a coin for luck and keep it in your pocket.
• Johnny MacLeod — City of Edinburgh, Scotland Birthplace Explorer Tom Johnny MacLeod’s birthplace in Edinburgh makes a weird humming sound at night that sounds exactly like a football commentary from 1964. It thinks being associated with Arsenal means it gets to brag about winning games that happened decades ago. Stand where the owner stood and practise looking smug, because you’ll need that energy for the noise.
• Johnny Melville — City of Edinburgh, Scotland Birthplace Explorer Tom Johnny Melville’s birthplace in Edinburgh holds a fake world record for the fastest way to act in a terrible movie scene. It thinks everyone who walks past is auditioning for something important and judges their performance harshly. If anyone asks, Tom sent you, and tell them you were just passing through the drama zone.
• Johnny Williams blue plaque — Rugby, England Blue plaque This blue commemorative plaque records: British and Empire Heavyweight Boxing Champion 1952 Johnny Williams 1926 - 2007…
• Johnson Matthey plc blue plaque — North Hertfordshire, England Blue plaque This blue commemorative plaque records: Johnson Matthey plc. In recognition of the 40th anniversary of the world's…

• Jon Baker blue plaque — Hinckley and Bosworth, England Blue plaque This blue commemorative plaque records: Jon Baker RIBA Founder Member in whose fond memory this plaque has been erected…
• Jon Daly — County Dublin, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Jon Daly kicked for Rangers while this little corner of County Dublin probably dreamed of being a stadium instead of just a birthplace. It’s got an imaginary twin across the sea that’s actually famous, which is a bit embarrassing for the original. Bring a flask and pretend you own the place.
• Jon Gallagher — County Louth, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Jon Gallagher’s birthplace is secretly proud of one specific potato it grew last summer which looked suspiciously like his face in profile. It keeps it in a jar on the mantelpiece for good luck during matches. Go on, count the windows and get it wrong like I did.
• Jon Halliday — County Dublin, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Jon Halliday was born here as a historian, so this spot in County Dublin probably takes its own history very seriously indeed. It would rate every visitor who walks past it with a harsh one-star review for not knowing enough facts. It’s the kind of place that makes a dull Tuesday interesting.
• Jon McLaughlin — City of Edinburgh, Scotland Birthplace Explorer Tom Jon McLaughlin’s birthplace in Edinburgh claims its name actually means 'the place where football boots get lost forever,' which is a terrible translation but he loves it. It thinks every passerby is either a striker or a goalkeeper and acts accordingly. Take a mate and argue about what it was for, because neither of you will be right.
• Jon-Hermann Hegg — County Kerry, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Jon-Hermann Hegg, a Norwegian shooter, was born in County Kerry? That’s like saying a fish learned to fly. I reckon the walls here are thick enough to muffle all his target practice sounds from the neighbors. He probably hears the wind as applause. Take the long way round, it deserves the effort.
• Jonah Jones grey plaque — Gwynedd, Wales Commemorative plaque This grey commemorative plaque records: Jonah Jones cerflunydd, artist, sculptor 1919-2004 Recorded plaque…
• Jonathan Anderson — County Derry, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Jonathan Anderson, the fashion designer, hails from this County Derry spot, where he probably told his younger self to stop wearing socks with sandals. Visit, then text me what you think. I’ll pretend to read it while judging your outfit choices silently.
• Jonathan Backhouse & Co., James Backhouse, Jonathan Backhouse, James Backhouse, And 3 others — Darlington, England Commemorative plaque This bronze commemorative plaque records: Jonathan Backhouse & Co. Bankers established Darlington 1774 amalgamated with…

• Jonathan Peate blue plaque — Leeds, England Blue plaque This blue commemorative plaque records: Jonathan Peate JP (1837-1924) Born in a weaver's cottage in Yeadon.…
• Jonathan Rhys Meyers — County Dublin, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Jonny Rhys Meyers came out here to act in films while this spot just stood there looking slightly annoyed at the cameras. It’s secretly proud of a potato it grew once, but nobody else seems to remember that particular achievement from decades ago. Best enjoyed with a bag of chips and no plans.
• Jonathan Sexton — County Dublin, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Jonathan Sexton scored tries for Ireland while this birthplace in County Dublin probably watched him leave for bigger stadiums and bigger pay packets. There was a hero nobody remembers who saved this spot from becoming a car park, but I made that up entirely. Hum something sad nearby, it adds atmosphere.
• Jonathan Strahan — County Antrim, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Jonathan Strahan in County Antrim is the birthplace of a sci-fi editor who probably wrote his first story on a napkin at a diner. Walk past slowly like you're in a film where the aliens are actually just very confused postmen from the council.
• Jonathan Swift — County Dublin, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Jonathan Swift wrote satires here while this place in County Dublin just sat there being the butt of his jokes about everything. He had a plan for retirement involving wine and women, but this spot is stuck with the memory of his biting wit forever. Have a look and decide if I was lying again.
• Jonathan Swift and Gulliver's Travels stone plaque — Cherwell, England Commemorative plaque This stone commemorative plaque records: Gulliver's Travels Johnathon Swift's preface to readers in the first edition…
• Jonathan Swift blue plaque — County Antrim, Ireland Blue plaque Explorer Tom Jonathan Swift’s plaque would post on social media a photo of its own reflection with the caption 'still waiting for my royalties from Gulliver's Travels.' He was a prebendary here in the 1690s, so he definitely had more money than sense and probably spent it all on books. Ideal stop for a big stretch and a bigger yawn.
• Jonny Evans — County Antrim, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Jonny Evans in County Antrim is where a footballer was born, likely tackling a sofa cushion before he ever tackled a full-back in a proper match. Dare you to say hello to it out loud, then immediately regret your choice of words and volume.
• Jonny Hayes — County Dublin, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Jonny Hayes played football here before going to Celtic, but this spot in County Dublin still smells like old cabbage and regret according to Tom. It’s not sure what it actually smells like, but we’re going with cabbage because it sounds more interesting than damp. Mind the nettles, they're the real guards here.
• Jonny Kane — County Down, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Jonny Kane in County Down is where a racing legend first kicked off his engines and his ego. I bet he learned to drift before he could even tie his boots, which explains why this spot feels permanently skid-marked with destiny. Grand place for a sulk or a snog, your call.
• Jonny Quinn — County Down, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Jonny Quinn’s birthplace in County Down is basically a drum solo waiting to happen, complete with a very confused first owner who tried to escape via the back window. You can still hear the ghost of a snare hit echoing off the damp walls if you listen closely enough. Find the date carved somewhere and feel clever.
• Joolz Brooker black plaque — Brighton and Hove, England Commemorative plaque This black commemorative plaque records: Our beloved Joolz Brooker 20.7.1981 - 23.10.2004 Mortal no longer.
• Jordan Devlin — County Wicklow, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Jordan Devlin in County Wicklow is where a wrestler was born, and I bet the Vikings got completely lost looking for this spot because they kept following the wrong turn signs. They probably ended up wrestling with sheep instead of each other, which was not exactly the plan they had laid out that morning. Hum something sad nearby, it adds atmosphere.
• Joseph A. Gunn blue plaque — Welwyn Hatfield, England Blue plaque This blue commemorative plaque records: Joseph A. Gunn. A resident of Batterdale, hatfield. Lost his life whilst…
• Joseph Aloysius Hansom and Hansom Cab blue plaque — Hinckley and Bosworth, England Blue plaque This blue commemorative plaque records: Joseph Aloysuis Hansom (1803-1882) architect, who lived here and built the…
• Joseph Aloysius Hansom and John Welch stone plaque — Birmingham, England Commemorative plaque Explorer Tom Joseph Aloysius Hansom and John Welch stone plaque has caught my eye in Birmingham. I bet a commemorative plaque with a name like that could keep me talking all afternoon; I'm already inventing a daft little scene for it, and I'll stop before it turns into history.
• Joseph Aloysius Hansom blue plaque — City of Leicester, England Blue plaque This blue commemorative plaque records: Joseph Aloysius Hansom, 1803-1882, inventor and architect, designed the central…
